Grillz and What They Say About Your Personality

It's no secret that picking up a pair of grillz might result in a few head shakes and some judging stares when roaming through the streets, but as fans of grillz, we couldn't care less what other people think. Wearing a pair of grillz requires supreme confidence, and it undoubtedly makes a statement about who you are. Grillz are often a big step in someone's life as a sign of success and power — but they are much more than a piece of jewelry. They're an extension of your personality.

We look to an excellent example of someone in the limelight who wears grillz as an extension of their persona: Marshawn Lynch. In this interview, Lynch explains his history with grillz and why they're an important part of his life. Known for his immense skill-set on the field, Lynch was equally known off it for his outspokenness and his famously complicated relationship with the media.

A little-known fact about Lynch is that he also rocked a pair of gold grillz on the field while bulldozing through defenders. Much like his well-documented habit of eating Skittles on the sideline, grillz carried a mental weight for him — that little extra boost he needed to get the job done.

What's remarkable about Lynch is that his persona on and off the field is the same one. He asserts his dominance and confidence and doesn't waver in the face of other people's opinions. There's something in that attitude all grillz enthusiasts can share: don't let other people's opinions change who you are. If you find confidence in wearing grillz, then they'll undoubtedly become part of who you are — and people will come to respect it.
